Qi Gong

Qigong massage is a therapeutic bodywork technique from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that emphasizes balancing and enhancing the body’s energy flow, or qi, through gentle movements and acupressure. It aims to relieve pain and improve circulation by unblocking energy pathways, making it especially beneficial for those with pain caused by poor circulation or energy stagnation.

It works similar as Acupuncture but without needles.
